The Simultaneous Metered Blending unit (SMB) is a turnkey blending system, offering a much more advanced solution. It’s a combination of high volume production capacity of In-Line Blending units (ILB) with the operating flexibility of Automatic Batch Blending (ABB). Instead of blending in a kettle, Components are simultaneously dosed into a header before discharging to a tank for final mixing. SMB systems are engineered to concurrently gauge liquids using a Coriolis flow meter and ensure their precise proportional mixture via a central conduit. These Simultaneous Metered Blenders are compact modular setups that employ Micro Motion technology for accurate measurement and control. They function by accurately dispensing the appropriate proportions of various components into the central conduit, which then directs the blended mixture for subsequent homogenization. Precision mixing is the hallmark of simultaneous metered Blending . Every ingredient undergoes meticulous measurement accordi...
